59. The wrecked sorceress
Magic reaction?!
This was the first idea that Lann was born.
What are you doing?!
This is the second thought immediately after.
Lan En was pretty sure that the person in front of him had no magic items on him.
The man sat slumped in a dark wooden cage.
The legs stretched out softly, not because they were lazy, but because of the calves on the two legs...... It's all cut off!
Lacking a large number of calf muscles, the control of the whole leg no longer allows for complex movements.
There is only one dress that is common to peasant women.
It seems that this is a lady, a lady of average appearance.
Lan En estimated that this dress was too lazy to be removed because it did not affect the flesh on the legs.
Such a woman would not be able to hide any magical objects without being discovered.
That is, she has magic in itself?
...... Isn't that even more!
If you have magic, you are a warlock! Warlocks in the hands of a group of criminal syndicates?
Lan didn't know where to put his hand now.
It was the first time he had seen a spellcaster.
At that time, the woman in the wooden cage seemed to be forced to cheer up from her weak state because she saw Lan En.
Speak with two points of neutrality.
"Don't be stunned, witcher. Did you come to me for an academy merchant? ā
Looking for you? Academy?
What's the same thing?
Lan couldn't figure it out for a moment, but fortunately he knew what was most important at this moment.
"Ma'am, you gotta be quiet!"
Lan's voice was stern, but the volume was as small as the wings of an insect.
The woman's night vision seemed to be very remarkable, and when she looked left and right, she saw that some prisoners in the darkness were already casting unfocused glances at the place.
So he also suppressed his ecstatic expression and quieted down.
Lane then asked.
"Tell me who you are and why you were caught."
Lan En is very tempted to say ma'am, you must have misunderstood, my biggest reputation at the moment is to take a team of soldiers, and walk a few miles to find a cannibal, and the rest is to fight with water ghosts in a fishing village, and if the business of more than two hundred Oren takes the initiative to find me, the employer is really a bit tasteless.
But he can't say that.
The woman in front of her, the wounds on her two legs have obviously been infected and suppurated, and it is conservatively estimated that not to mention being caught, it will take five or six days for this wound to be caught.
Lan En didn't know how she had survived the past five or six days.
Whether it's a wound or mental torture, each one is too deadly.
Looking at her current state of being beaten mentally, Lan En was afraid that she would not be able to get up in one breath after she explained herself, and she would die directly in the cage.
Can make a sorceress look like this...... There is still this level of power in this camp?
Lan En was immediately scared into a cold sweat.
If you venture forward again, you may unknowingly bump into this force!
It's time to ask.
But at this moment, the sorceress frowned, looking Lan En's face full of blood up and down.
"You weren't brought by the academy to save me, were you, witcher?"
Lan pursed his lips and didn't answer.
Surprisingly, the sorceress's psychological strength was also beyond Lan's estimate.
In a desperate situation, she suddenly saw a life-saving straw, and then found that the straw was broken in the blink of an eye, but it didn't even defeat her.
She coughed violently, then actually looked up after taking a deep breath and re-eyed at Lan.
"Assassination can make such a mess of yourself...... I'm so burned out that the academy won't hire a newbie like you. Oh, it doesn't matter, I'll tell you what you want to know. ā
The sorceress chuckled softly.
"I'm the dean of Erethusa Academy."
Holy!
Do you want the first sentence to be so exciting!
Lan'en's cat-eye pupils couldn't stop shrinking.
Goth Willen's tavern heard gossip welled up in his mind, Dean Eretusa, one of the most powerful warlocks in the world.
...... Is there such a dragon pond tiger's den in this camp?
"Margarita Laux Antiller?"
"Yes, it's me."
Lan En was shocked, but the expression on his face was well maintained.
And at this time, his cat's eyes turned, and he began to search for the person in the wooden cage with all his might, hoping to find Little White.
In the event that the strong man who can defeat the world's largest sorceress appears, he hopes that he will at least be able to escape with White.
"How to prove it? Rumored, you're a beautiful woman to the shame of the Nymph. ā
"The rumors don't lie." The sorceress has unparalleled confidence in this.
In terms of demeanor, she waved her hand indifferent to the rumors, and she didn't care about Lan En's questioning at all. "Magic creams add to the charm but also mask the beauty if desired. Now in your eyes, in the eyes of those damn bastards, I'm not as pretty as a village woman. ā
"I'm out looking for a missing student, so I can't be too conspicuous and let the murderer know that a woman as beautiful as a fairy is looking for him."
"...... 'murderer' you say?"
"Yes, murderer." Margarita reached out and patted a miserable white thigh bone beside her.
"The little girl in the academy who is ignorant of the world is attracted by Willen's wild man, and escapes from the academy for love and to taste the forbidden fruit."
"Heh, she wanted to come back after a night of romance and continue to study magic, this is not a big deal, it is almost the daily routine of the academy. But the world is impermanent, who knew that the man not only wanted her yin*, but also her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys? ā
The sorceress spoke so explicit that Ran, a virgin, didn't even know how to respond.
But when the young man broke away from his search, and turned his head to look at the sorceress's expression, he realized that she was not sarcastic about her student.
She looked at the thigh bone with a look of sadness and regret.
If he didn't really care about his students, why would the dean of a magic academy run out of his fortress himself?
In Erethusa, anyone who sets foot in this place is to be treated with respect to the Academy, even if that person is the king.
But now, the dean of the academy is thrown into the cage of cannibals and abductors, and his two calves are almost deboned!
"Who can beat you, ma'am?"
Lan asked softly, this was his primary concern at the moment.
It's about whether he can find it and take White with him.
"You're one of the strongest sorceresses in the world, who here can hurt a hair of yours?"
Margarita, who had been caressing the student's relics, looked up and looked at the witcher who was talking in surprise, but did not speak for a long time.
"I said witchers...... Do you have any misunderstanding about the caster? ā
ā......ā*2
Lan returned the look with a bewildered look, as did the Mentos in his head.
"Heh, it looks like your mentor didn't teach you how to deal with warlocks."
Margarita chuckled.
Lan En nodded very sincerely.
"Yes, my mentor left early."
Or did he 'send' it away with his own hands.
"That's not hard to understand. Do you have the impression that a warlock should rain fire from the sky with a wave of his hand? In the face of a rain of arrows from an army, we can summon a hurricane and blow it away like dew on the palms of our hands? Warriors are like ants in front of us, even if the sword slashes us, they can't break through the protection of magic? ā
The witcher's cat's eyes shimmered in the darkness, and he asked cautiously.
"Isn't it?"
ā...... You're so cute, little witcher. ā
Margarita's flirtatious tone made Rann frown.
"Try to make a long story short, ma'am! We're talking about the lives of many people here, and you might be a part of that! ā
"Well, the little witcher is in a hurry. But it's not necessary, the night is still long. No one has noticed what you've done, and this night was as peaceful as the previous nights I had experienced. ā
The sorceress waved her hand and began to get serious.
But between words, the roaring bear head necklace around Lan En's neck suddenly increased by a level in amplitude!
It lasted only a moment, and then returned to the level of vibration it had had when it had approached Margarita at the beginning.
Lan looked down at his necklace, then at the sorceress.
"Well, what the hell do you mean?"
He thought it was a little trick used by the sorceress to educate him.
But when he saw Margarita with the same bewildered expression, he immediately overturned this idea.
"IāI can't cast spells right now!"
The amber cat's eye shrunk into a slit almost instantly!
At the same time, the sound of a horn came from the camp!
